Xu Han fiddled with the whisk in his hand, and habitually bent down to report the news respectfully.

"I asked a few more questions and heard that Princess Hui'an pushed General Mu's daughter into the lotus pond before the banquet even started. The child from the Mu family fell into the water a few days ago and was dragged over by the princess this time.

The person has already fallen unconscious, and no one knows what is happening. I heard that even the child was rescued by the General's Mansion themselves. I'm afraid the Princess has already caused a commotion."

He explained in great detail in just a few paragraphs and waited quietly for His Majesty's next instructions.

"Alright, I'll go take a look and ask Song Zhi to come with me."

The emperor frowned after listening, thought for a while and then stood up.

Song Zhi - the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but he has always been the chief imperial physician who is only qualified to be employed by the emperor and the empress, and ordinary people are not qualified to hire him.

He really didn't want to get involved in the mess between the two families, but after all, Mu Yuan was innocent. It would be outrageous if he got the news that Mu Yuan had fought at the border for so many years and his wife and children were still suffering in Beijing.

Eunuch Xu was also a little surprised that the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, so he hurriedly trotted to catch up and started making arrangements to leave the palace along the way.

It just so happens that today is the day off for all officials, otherwise the emperor would have to hold a court meeting in the morning and would not have time to leave the palace to deal with their affairs.

(Princess's Mansion)

Looking at his daughter who had been in a coma, Cheng Qin was extremely panicked. His eyes were already red and he held his daughter tightly and insisted on going back to see the doctor from his own home.

Fang Jiale's imperial physicians tried to revive Ali, but couldn't. The princess even invited a doctor from the palace, but Cheng Qin didn't trust her. Her daughter was in this state because of the people in the princess's mansion!

Even now, her family hasn't heard a single word of apology from the eldest princess!

But the people in the Princess's Mansion refused to let them leave, saying that they had to have the imperial physician examine them thoroughly, otherwise if anything happened they would be framed and accused of injuries sustained in their mansion.

Looking at her daughter Cheng Qin who was breathing weakly in her arms, she thought of her husband who was still fighting for his life day after day at the border. For the first time, the grievance and resentment in her heart surged to the point of almost swelling.

Xiao Fu was right. No matter how sincere one was, what good was it? Ultimately, the royal family had the final say. But if the royal family couldn't do justice for them, then there would be no justice in this world.

The bloody battle between my husband and father-in-law ended up being a joke!

Fang Jiale was close to her and could clearly see the strong emotions surging in her eyes. He couldn't help but feel frightened. He quickly grabbed her arm and squeezed it a little harder, deliberately strengthening his tone to comfort her.

"Don't think too much. Ali is a lucky girl and will be fine. The children are all here, you can't fall down!"

After all, they were close friends. After she said that, Cheng Qin understood what she meant. She took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the emotions that were surging in her heart and wanted to burst out.

Qilan also told her diagnosis to the lady as they had agreed before, and now she was staying by the young lady's side to observe her condition at all times.

Anyway, the antidote is still with her. As long as it is safe, she can give it to the young lady at any time. Nothing serious should happen.

Fang Jiale also hurriedly urged the imperial physician she had invited to think of a solution, at least to wake the child up first. Otherwise, she was worried that Sister Qin would lose control later. After all, a child is half of the mother's life!

The imperial physician was also having a headache. The pulse of the little girl from the general's mansion was too chaotic. There was no sign of drowning, but her pulse seemed to be suffering from nightmare syndrome. It was rare for a child of this age to have this disease.

The pulse was rapid and hard, like a stone slingshot, and it felt strong when pressed. It was obvious that the first problem to be solved was her high fever, but he had tried several prescriptions and none of them worked.

Fortunately, someone in the Princess's Mansion quickly reported that His Majesty had arrived with Dean Song, followed by a group of male guests. He quickly stood up to greet them.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

The emperor waved his hand casually, his eyes fixed on the child not far away who had obviously bathed and changed his clothes, and he frowned slightly.

"Song Zhi, go over and check on the child."

How could the male guests not know about such a big thing happening in the harem? It’s just that there are too many female relatives here and it’s inconvenient for many people to come. They only dared to come and see the excitement when they heard that the emperor was coming.

Song Zhi quickly responded and went over to put a towel under the child and quickly checked his pulse. After a while, he frowned.

Gu Luoheng saw it clearly from the side and couldn't help but ask.

"Director Song, is there any way to reduce her fever? Please prescribe any medicine she needs."

Song Zhi quickly withdrew his hand and bowed to Cheng Qin to ask about the situation.

"May I ask, Madam Mu, does your daughter suffer from nightmares? I observe her pulse and she seems to be dreaming but unable to wake up. This is caused by the obstruction of turbid qi and stubborn phlegm. If she falls into the water again and suffers convulsions and the nightmares don't go away, I'm afraid she will be difficult to treat."

Cheng Qin's eyes were red, and his lips were full of teeth marks from forcibly suppressing emotions. His voice was hoarse with tears.

"Yes, she fell into the water a few days ago and was frightened. The nightmare has only improved a little in the past few days, but I didn't expect it to happen again today..."

She didn't finish her words, but the people present were not fools and naturally understood the meaning of her unfinished words. Many people remained silent, but their eyes couldn't help but wander back and forth.

My goodness, things have become so serious today that even His Majesty has come out in person. I don’t know what the final outcome will be.

Song Zhi looked at the poor little girl and couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of compassion in his eyes.

"I can only say I'll try my best. I'll first blow Tongtian Powder into the nose, then pour Suhexiang Pills in. If the fever doesn't go away, I'm afraid... after all, this nightmare is ultimately a mental illness, and it can't be cured by medicine."

The eldest princess and her daughter were standing not far away. She rarely suppressed the joy that could not be hidden in her eyes. After all, the emperor was still there, so she had to restrain herself, but she couldn't help feeling a little happy in her heart.

She was a princess and wanted everything, but that man ignored her from beginning to end, as if she was a stranger on the street. His attitude towards her was even worse than that of a stranger, but now his daughter was going to die!

Even though she might be reprimanded this time, she still felt very happy!

Princess Hui'an had long since hidden behind her mother, using her body to conceal her pale and panic-stricken face.

What should I do? She just fell into the water and was quickly rescued, so how could she die? Will His Majesty punish her?

She was so flustered that she didn't notice two cold gazes from the crowd swept past her, filled with extreme anger.
